Doctoral Studies

• In Freiberg I have learned for life:

In our countries and our culture there is a famous aphorism (wisdom), which says: “Traveling has seven benefits”. In fact, I found in Freiberg more than this figure. 🙂

• That has been my field of research:

Development of an Integrated Mining and Processing Optimization System

• This is put on my doctoral hat/mortarboard:

computer software, data management and simulations, statistical analysis, field trips with institute staff, brainstorming

• If I were a Ph.D. student again, I would …

do more effort to make a scientific link between my research center in Egypt and TU Bergakademie Freiberg. And to do more effort to teach the international students at the Bergakademie.

University

• This is very special for me about the Bergakademie:

For me and my family (wife and three kids), it was very special and interesting to attend the yearly family meeting day in our Mining Institute, where you can enjoy all of these: recognize each others, playing, quiz, music, competitions, barbecue …

• My „good soul“ at the university:

Surely, my academic supervisor Prof. Dr. Carsten Drebenstedt.

• Whenever I think about Freiberg, I think of …

the calm, beauty, ancient and historical memories laying over huge and old mines.

And then …

• For the future I wish:

I wish to visit TU Bergakademie Freiberg in the upcoming days, and for the university itself I wish to be one of the top ten universities all-over the world.
